Hey everyone! I’m curious about the different golf grip techniques out there. I’ve always used the overlapping grip, but I’ve heard the interlocking and ten-finger grips are also popular. What do you use and why?

I’ve found the interlocking grip works best for me. It’s great for players with smaller hands because it helps keep the hands together as a single unit. Plus, it’s what Tiger Woods uses, so it must be good, right? 
I tried the interlocking grip, but it never felt natural. Overlapping all the way for me!

The ten-finger grip, also known as the baseball grip, is what I use. It’s particularly effective for beginners or those with arthritis because it reduces strain on the hands. Any older golfers here who find it beneficial?

Interesting topic! I believe each grip has its own advantages. The overlapping grip is the most common among pros for a reason. It offers control and consistency.

I’ve been golfing for over 30 years, and the ten-finger grip made a world of difference when I started experiencing joint pain. Totally recommend it for older players!

Does anyone have tips on improving grip pressure? Sometimes I feel like I’m strangling the club!
Make sure you’re holding the club like you’re holding a small bird: firmly enough that it won’t fly away, but gently enough that you won’t hurt it.
I was skeptical of changing my grip at first, but switching to the interlocking grip gave me a lot more control over my shots.

Grips are so personal. I think it’s more about finding what feels comfortable and natural for your game. I’ve experimented with all three and settled on the overlapping grip.

Totally agree! It’s all about personal preference. Just make sure to practice with each to find the one that fits your style.
Has anyone noticed a difference in their game after switching grips? I’m contemplating changing mine but want to hear about others’ experiences first.
Yes, I saw an immediate improvement. More stability and fewer mishits. It’s worth trying if you’re struggling.
I can’t decide between the interlocking and overlapping grips. Any advice on making a choice?
When I switched to an interlocking grip, it felt weird at first but improved my control. Give both grips ample trial time; one will stand out.
Great discussion! I generally prefer the overlapping grip like many others. It balances firmness and flexibility well, especially for power hitters.

Does the grip affect putting as much as it does full swings? Looking to improve my short game.
Absolutely! A lighter grip helps with feel and control. Experimenting with different putter grips can also make a difference.
Here’s something fun: Arnold Palmer says to grip the club as if you’re shaking hands with it. It’s all about comfort and natural feel.
Switching to the ten-finger grip helped me hit straighter shots. If you have larger hands, it could be worth a try!
